A Modern Coastal Wedding at Areias do Seixo
Set against Portugal’s untamed coastline, this wedding at Areias do Seixo was a masterclass in effortless elegance. The couple embraced the venue’s raw beauty, opting for an intimate outdoor ceremony framed by the Atlantic, followed by a candlelit reception that blended modern minimalism with organic textures. Captured by Lookimaginary, the day unfolded with a natural ease – windswept, unfiltered, and entirely in the moment.
The Venue
Areias do Seixo is not a typical wedding destination. Tucked into the dunes, this boutique eco-hotel is defined by its sleek architectural lines, raw materials, and a deep connection to nature. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in the coastal light, while the surrounding landscape -wild grasses, rolling waves, and rugged cliffs – creates an atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive. It’s a space that doesn’t require excess, allowing the natural setting to take center stage.
The wedding
The ceremony took place outdoors, with a simple wooden arch draped in fresh greenery, perfectly in tune with the venue’s aesthetic, the couple exchanged vows with the ocean as their backdrop.
Post-ceremony, the couple took a quiet moment on the beach, where Lookimaginary captured portraits that were both cinematic and intimate. As the tide rolled in and the wind picked up, the images reflected the energy of the setting – dynamic, natural, and entirely unposed.
The details
Every element of the day felt intentional. The reception took place indoors, where long tables were set with candlelight, soft linen runners, and floral arrangements that mirrored the wildness of the landscape. Dinner was an unhurried affair, served family-style to encourage conversation and connection. As the night unfolded, guests gathered on the dance floor, the warm glow of the space contrasting with the cool coastal air just beyond the doors.
Nothing felt overdone. No unnecessary embellishments. Just a celebration that felt deeply personal, effortlessly stylish, and perfectly in sync with its surroundings.
